Hi guys just looking for a way to deliberately kill the power in a kite in an emergency
Ivr seen guys at my local play around with the lines above the bar to make the kite fall out of the sky when self landing are they just pulling on one front line similar to flagging without having to reset safety etc obviously you would have to make sure to not get your fingers caught in lines

As Plummet says this is not an emergency technique as such, but an essential skill to be learnt if you ever want to kite solo.

Really, I find it od that people don't know how to self land there kite.

I can self land, but this guy at my local does it when the kites at 12 and it just drifts down - when I try it it just tumbles down.....

Light wind, bar out.
Fly kite to twelve and as the momentum of the kite tries to fly it over your head, step forward a couple of steps under the kite and pull the centre lines.
Kite falls from sky and you catch it before it hits the ground.

Party trick, no real use otherwise and the possibility of the kite catching some wind and doing whatever it wants.

I was about to suggest the same as this, but not recommended for beginners. It's a very risky move should the kite suddenly decide to catch wind again and go someplace else!

If you pull on the 2 front lines, don't let go until the kite has landed!
